Aloha kākou e ka ʻohana o UH Hilo,
I am pleased to share that UH Hilo’s 2025–35 Strategic Plan and 2025–26 Strategic Enrollment Plan are now complete and available online. These plans are the result of thoughtful collaboration across our campus community, shaped by the voices and insights of many who engaged in conversations, provided feedback, and contributed directly to their development.
I extend my sincere gratitude to everyone who played a role in bringing these plans to fruition.
As we move forward, I want to emphasize that these are living documents—designed to guide our collective efforts while remaining adaptable to the evolving needs of our students, campus, and community. Your continued engagement will be vital as we refine and implement these strategies in the years ahead.

I encourage you to take a look, reflect on the aspirations and priorities we have outlined together, and continue to be part of this journey. Your insights and contributions will remain essential as we bring these plans to life.
As a final note, per President Hensel’s ongoing communications, we are actively assessing the potential impacts of the Trump administration’s recent executive orders and subsequent agency guidance on UH Hilo’s current and future programming. As we move forward, we will carefully review these developments and adapt our 2025-35 Strategic Plan and 2025-26 Strategic Enrollment Plan to ensure alignment with federal law while upholding our institutional values and commitments.
Mahalo for your dedication to UH Hilo and our shared vision for the future.
Bonnie D. Irwin
Chancellor
